We thank Sullivans Funeral Directors for their kindness and personal assistance at such a difficult time. Special thanks to Dr. Shane Murphy and staff at Padua Clinic, life long friend Liam O Brian, Bob Ryan of Aras Leon, Josephine Wills and Deirdre Bullman.

Thanks to Tramore Athletic for helping bring Philly to His final resting place. A heartfelt thanks to those who attended Philly's funeral and removal, especially those who travelled long distances. Thanks to everyone who supported the family, and all who sent mass cards and messages of condolences.

As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been offered for your intentions.
